Pick 211. J.D. Spielman, WR TCU

5’9″, 180 lbs

175 Receptions, 2,601 yards, 25 Rushing Attempts, 156 yards, 15 Total Touchdowns per Pro Football Reference

J.D. Spielman is another speed receiver for the Denver Broncos’ offense. Spielman made a career at Nebraska of making defenders look silly on downfield routes and on quick passes in the open field.

Spielman can serve as a “gimmick” player for the Broncos, playing in the backfield or on jet-sweeps. Spielman has good enough ball skills to play receiver, but he will have to earn his spot through special teams and trick plays. Spielman is good enough to make plays for the Broncos, but he may have to spend his first year on the practice squad.

J.D. Spielman is the number 304 overall player on The Draft Network, who considers him to be, “Super slippery” with great change of direction skills.

Spielman could be a fun late-round flyer pick for the Denver Broncos.
